The Quickway Plan
Presented by Alan Hoffman and Craig Jones.
Quickway Planning for the San Diego Region:
Improving Transit Performance by Applying Global Best Practices
A regional rapid transit strategy developed by an independent, community based effort to more effectively and efficiently serve the needs of our region.
Event Detail:
An international team of rapid-transit experts teamed with local planners to study our region's movement patterns and needs. Using global best practices, they designed an integrated approach to enable many of San Diego drivers to change to rapid transit.
Using the market-driven principles of saving time and money, increasing the connectivity of the network, and improving customer experience, the Quickway Plan concept,
- Is affordable to build and operate
- Measurably improves congestion
- Better serves neighborhoods and businesses
- Increases transit use by attracting riders
- Stays flexible enough to adapt to future conditions
A key strategic feature of flex planning for transit is linking system design to market research that defines what our region's residents require of a transit system.
